The old man not being aware of the trick we were about to play, had not thought it necessary to make his pram fast to the cutter, but held on by the starboard main-channel. The order was given to put the helm over, and let the foresail draw.
Meg always wheeled little Fay to and from the gardens in the funny little folding "pram" they had brought from India. The plump baby was a tight fit, but the queer little carriage was light and easily managed.
In short, the danger of proximity in fly fishing was as obvious as the deductions of any mathematical problem. The union could not exist. A remedy was to be found; and P sat down on the grating over the well of the pram, and gave himself to contemplation. His inquisitive mind lost no time. "Hollo!" he suddenly exclaimed, "there's that rock; can't I get on it?"
What if we was to take the road a bit, mate where there's room to stretch a chap's legs without kickin' a dog or knockin' the crockery over? There's the ole pram up-stairs in the back room as lively as ever she was only wants a little of paint to be fit for a dook, she does. An' 'ere's me, an' 'ere's you, an' 'ere's the pick of the dogs.
"Outside," one agent commanded. "Get into the pram." "You've got nothing on us," the man in the striped shirt protested. "We were only protecting ourselves against this wild man who barged in here." "Were you protecting yourselves against the two girls?" Scotty asked. "We were holding them for the police," striped shirt stated.
"I'm here, Captain Murchison," spoke up Colin, emerging from the companion hatch with a heavy pilot coat. "I thought you'd need something for the boats, too." The captain nodded his thanks. "Lower away the whale-boat first," the captain said. "Never mind me, I'll come along presently. Look alive there! That's the idea, Hank! All right? Cast off. Lower away the big pram! All right.
When she saw we made no haste, she resumed her seat, and singing a native song that had more of liveliness than melancholy in its burden, again she rowed her pram round the same circle, never deserting the spot, but whistling and chanting by turns, she kept her face turned in one direction, that she might always watch the central surface of the water.
"Why don't you do what you're told?" "Ja ," again began the unhappy boatman. "But you didn't," shouted P , cutting him off in the midst of his reply. "Ja, ja," interposed the Norwegian, "I pool pram." "Yes, you did 'pool pram, and a pretty mess you have made of it;" and P put his hands in his trowsers' pockets, and began to walk up and down on the bank.
This responsibility of Gerda's invested her with a special interest in the eyes of Barry, who lived and worked for the future, and who, when he saw an infant mewling and puking in a pram, was apt to think "The hope for the world," and smile at it encouragingly, overlooking its present foolishness of aspect and habit.
A girder torn up like a pack of cards lay on the leg of a table amongst a brick wall by an apple-tree. Lower down in the heap was the frame-work of a large four-poster bed; through it all a vine came up quite green and still alive; and at the edge of the heap lay a doll's green pram. Small though the house had been there was evidence in that heap of some prosperity in more than one generation.
